Arctic day 2: Ny Alesund

The Glaciers were enormous and very blue. Note the tiny lil zodiacs on the bottom left.

The ice bergs were breathtaking AND dangerous.

On our first day’s outing a zodiac hit an underwater iceberg. It sliced the side open and two participants immediately flipped over backwards into the 38 degree water. They were promptly rescued by crew in 17 seconds according to the ships video. BRRRRR

Also 2 weeks before another expedition ship hit an iceberg and put a hole in the hull that had to be repaired at sea…Our ship on one occasion veered at 30 degrees to avoid an iceberg leaving everyone on board a little shaky
